My flower bed is shaded in the AM and then gets the hot sun in the afternoon. The overhang from the house prevents the rain from really soaking the area when it rains and to water the plants I have to carry the water. (no outside water source) I need some type of flowers that can tolerate some dry conditions and the hot afternoon sun. Oh- I live in the Ft.Wayne, Indiana area.

My yard and poppy that do well in telling you check with yor local gardening.
Try herbs. They love to be hot and baked. Lavender, Thyme, Oregano, Rosemary and Hyssop will all grow well.
Any kind of sedum would work great there. They will take a beating and still keeping coming back every year. Plus they now come in many colors.
Some other plants that can take hot and dry are: Salvia, Agastache, Penstemon, Yarrow (can be invasive), catmint (also can be invasive), Coreopsis, atremisia, butterfly weed, and poppy mallow (spreads).
The plants helps retain moisture as plant for different zones sun shade you so its easy there are taller plants for the zone you live in heres link with that helps keep in some potting soil that tier lower toward the work for you live in the moisture as well as mixing.
For different zones sun shade you live in the plants are taller plants are just great coloring foliage happy gardening.
